Spring 2016 Home Tour
Hiiiii friends! I’m so excited to welcome you into my home for my first-ever home tour! Since we move around so often, I never really feel like our home is “tour-worthy,” know what I mean? Our home always seems to be in a state of incompletion – just when I get the picture frames up on…
A Casual and Elegant Thanksgiving Table

He never asks for anything and faithfully supports my unhealthy obsession hobby of building stuff, so I’d really love to make…
Grandma’s Got A Brand New Bag (The Sequel): Refinished Queen Anne Chairs
Remember these old ladies? Well, after I made these window cornices, they just didn’t play well anymore in their grey chevron goodness. So I had to give them a quickie face lift (why can’t we all just get along?). I couldn’t bear to stray too far from my beloved zig zag pattern, so this time, I…
